Definitions

  • the object of the present invention is a shower provided with a luminous shower head.
  • such a luminous source can contribute to increase the relaxing effect of the jet of water.
  • the shower according to the invention presents automated and remote controls for simplifying and making the control functions safe.
  • the shower according to the invention comprises at least a shower head 2 realised in a transparent material, a luminous source 3, for instance a bulb disposed from the opposite side of the water outlet, a hydraulic circuit 4 and an electric circuit 5.
  • the shower head 2 comprises a support plate 12 from which a hollow cylindrical element 10 protrudes, said element comprising a side wall 10' and a base 10" provided with holes 11 for the ejection of water.
  • a cylindrical deflecting element 14 protrudes from the plate 12 internally to the shower head, thereby forcing water to circulate only in the zone next to the side wall 10' and to the base 10" of the cylindrical element 10 and avoiding that water accumulates inside the shower head 2.
  • the plate 12 and the deflecting element 14, realised in transparent plastic or in other suitable material, can constitute a single body or be realised by fixing, for instance by gluing, the deflecting element 14 to the plate 12.
  • the cylindrical element 10 is removably fixed to the plate 12 by means of a screw 15 crossing the base 10" of the cylindrical element 10, and engages in a blind hole 16 centrally realised in the deflecting element 14.
  • Water feeding from the hydraulic circuit 4 to the shower head 2 is realised by means of a duct 20, preferably flexible for facilitating the mounting operations, which presents its free end screwed in a threaded hole 19 realised in the side wall 10' of the cylindrical element 10.
  • the plate 12 of the shower head 2 is removably fixed to a frame 21.
  • the head shower 2 can be installed in an opening 22, able to house the luminous source 3, obtained in the walled structure 23 of the shower stall where the shower is installed.
  • the head shower 2 and the luminous source 3 are installed in the ceiling of the shower stall. However, they can also be installed in the walls of the shower stall in order to obtain water and light horizontally directed towards the user's body.
  • the frame 21 is in turn removably fixed to the walled structure 23 and carries a pane 24, said pane being transparent, preferably in glass, sealed and fixed to the walled structure, for closing the opening 22 so as to isolate the luminous source 3 from the shower head 2.
  • a coloured filter 25 is placed between the pane 24 and the luminous source 3 for colouring the light emitted by the luminous source 3.
  • a light of a preferred colour can be directly obtained by means of a coloured luminous source 3.
  • the luminous source 3 is connected to a low voltage electric line 40.
  • the hydraulic circuit 4 comprises a conventional piping 30 and a tap 31 for the manual control of the water feeding to the shower head 2.
  • a flow switch 32 which, when the tap 31 is opened, closes the electrical circuit 40 thereby feeding the luminous source 3, is placed upstream of the shower head and of the luminous source.
  • a switch 42 which allows to cut out the flow switch 32 and to manually control the luminous source 3 by means of a line section 43 which is connected to the electric line 40 downstream of the flow switch 32.
  • a transformer 44 for transforming the line tension into a low voltage tension, it is provided a transformer 44, preferably disposed externally to the shower stall.
  • a manual master bipolar switch 45 upstream of the transformer 44 it is provided a manual master bipolar switch 45 by means of which, if necessary, it is possible to cut out the power supply to the system.
  • the shower can feed a plurality of luminous shower heads, each individually controlled by a flow switch 32, as in the case of multiple showers for sports facilities.
  • an opaque false ceiling can be provided in order to leave free way to water coming out of the head showers and to conceal the components of the equipment, said ceiling being constituted by a pane 26 realised in fibreglass or in other light material and water-resistant, and being provided with holes in correspondence with the cylindrical elements 10 of the shower heads 2.
  • FIG. 3 A second embodiment of the invention is shown in figure 3, wherein the luminous shower head is installed in a shower 50 for external spaces having the shape of a plant or a flower, for instance a sunflower, having dimensions sufficient to allow the user to position himself/herself below a leaf-shaped support 52, to which the shower head 2 directed towards the user and, from the opposite side, the luminous source 3 are fixed.
  • a shower 50 for external spaces having the shape of a plant or a flower, for instance a sunflower, having dimensions sufficient to allow the user to position himself/herself below a leaf-shaped support 52, to which the shower head 2 directed towards the user and, from the opposite side, the luminous source 3 are fixed.
  • the shower is realised so as to conceal inside a duct 51 shaped like a flower stem both the electrical circuit and the hydraulic circuit controlled by means of the tap 31 applied to the duct 51 and of a (not shown) flow switch.
  • the duct 51 divides into a deviation 53 having the double scope of sustaining the support 52 and of housing at its interior the hydraulic and electric lines feeding the shower head 2 and the luminous source 3.
